Help with top CPU process.

Post by kyriakos876 »

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere in the forum but I can't find it.

I'm trying to get the value of the top CPU process using the example given here:

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/plugins/advancedcpu/

but I get different values from those shown in the Task manager itself. What is the cause of that?

-Thanks in advance.

Well it all depends on your skins update rate, as processes are always changing so by the time the skin updates is could be looking at a different one from the task manager as that updates in real time.

That's not it, as it shows values greater than the task manager ever shows. I even tried setting the update rate to 20 but I only managed to increase the CPU usage for nor reason.
